Thank you wording-family partially attended

A couple years back my family was invited to a wedding. Of my four sisters, only one of us attended. I did not attend, but I purchased the couple a KitchenAid mixer from the registry. My sisters actually had no input on the gift, but I sent it (via their registry) and put all of our names, and the name of my sister's FI, on the card. The card was generated by the retailer and I suspect there would have been no way to determine which of us actually purchased the gift. (I did tell my sisters that I purchased it and put their names on it, the other two who didn't attend were 16 and 18). 

At any rate, the sister who attended received a thank you. I got one, but I got it months after she got hers, and I don't know for sure, but I think I only got one because my sister mentioned to her that actually, I bought and sent the gift. I found that kind of annoying. 

All of this to say, assume that anyone named on the card gave the gift. Just because someone did not attend does not mean they didn't send you the gift. Just because someone is a certain age, don't assume they didn't actually contribute.
